Your future is shaped by the habits you repeat, not the goals you set.

"He's just a threat. He's a tough, tough at-bat for the pitcher in all ways ... (defensively) nobody else is making the plays (that he is). You're gonna have to watch baseball a long time to find someone who's gonna make those plays. That's how good it is." Craig Counsell tips his cap to PCA 👏

🚨🗣️Zlatan Ibrahimović on best player award in the World Cup : "They spent years calling Messi 'FIFA's boy, but when he produced another historic World Cup, suddenly the standards changed." "If Rodri wins the Golden Ball after a tournament where he barely decided games, then tell me-what more dia Messi have to do? Score, assist, lead, create, carry his nation again? That's exactly what he did." "The World Cup Best Player award is for the player who defines the tournament, not for politics or popularity. If Messi doesn't win it after performances like that, then football owes people an explanation." "People cried 'FIFA protects Messi.' Yet when he deserved the award the most, he was the one left empty-handed. Football has a strange sense of irony."

Got some baseball to play tonight. Watch the game live on @WatchMarquee.
